Installation and Operation Manual - Cape Town 1800
ENGLISH
6.3.2 Replacement
The glass used is a ceramic glass, 5/32" (4 mm) thick, 15 ¾" x 9 ¾" (400 mm x 248 mm), tested
to reach temperatures up to 1400ºF. If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with one having the
same specification.
To remove or replace the glass (D):
1. Remove the door (C) from its hinges and lay it on a
soft, flat surface.
2. Remove the four screws (A) and the four glass
retainers (B).
3. Remove the glass (D). If it is damaged install a new
one in place. The replacement glass must have a
gasket all around.
4. Inspect the glass gasket (E). If it is damaged change
the gasket.
5. Reinstall the glass, being careful to centre the glass in
the door and not to over-tightening the retaining screw.
The two main causes of broken door glass are uneven placement in the door and over-
tightening the retaining screws.
6.4 Door
In order for the stove to burn at its best efficiency, the door must
provide a perfect seal with the firebox. The tightness of the door seal
can be verified by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper.
The test must be performed all around the door. If the paper slips out
easily anywhere, either adjust the door or replace the gasket.
6.4.1 Gasket
It is important to replace the gasket with another having the
same diameter and density to maintain a good seal.
1. Remove the door and place it face-down on something soft
like a cushion of rags or a piece of carpet.
2. Remove the old gasket from the door. Use a screwdriver to
scrape the old gasket adhesive from the door gasket groove.
3. Apply a bead of approximately 1/16" (15 mm) of high
temperature silicone in the door gasket groove. Starting from
the middle, hinges side, press the gasket into the groove.
The gasket must not be stretched during installation.
4. Leave about ½" (13 mm) long of the gasket when cutting and
press the end into the groove. Tuck any loose fibers under
the gasket and into the silicone.
5. Close the door. Do not use the stove for 24 hours.
